Can't Sleep

Ugh, my mind is going a mile a minute and I can't sleep! I hate when that happens! Especially when Curt isn't home! That's usually when it happens! :\

Lots of things going on, some changes, for the good, but kinda got surprised how they all came about...

Fathers Day was going ok for me, then it just hit me. I miss dad... I just love (NOT) how grief comes, when you least expect it. Since Sunday I haven't been able to get out of my "funk". That's what I call it. Because usually other things are going on at the same time, sometimes good, sometimes not, and then grief hits me, so I am down and out. I'm a wreck for a few days, just start crying....

Been having fun sitting outside and reading (yes, reading an ADULT book, one by Ted Dekker!!! :D) watching the munchkins play. They like to sit in front of the Japanese Maple and dig, well, not really dig, but they get dirty! I think they are making mud pies, or dirt pies since I won't let them turn the hose on, drag it out front and make some mud! So dirt pies it is for them! ;)

This is seriously a random post. Just one of those get some thoughts and feelings out...

The changes, will be good. I just remind myself that it's all in God's hands. He is looking at the bigger picture, while I am just sitting here looking at it one day at a time. The way it went about, it was a bit of a surprise, a little hurt, but it's all good. God's got this, I trust Him. Less stress for me, which means more time for my kids and cleaning! Whoo hoo on the cleaning part... NOT!! ;)

I really need to sit down and figure out what else I need for the kids for school next year! I can't believe that Skylar will be in kindergarten, Gavin in first and Kotah in fourth!!! YIKES!!! Where are my babies!! Thad can count to ten! It's crazy how fast, yet slow, the time has gone! ;)

I saw a friend post about her command central, and I am REALLY eager to try it! I just haven't had the time to put it all together! I think it will help a TON! :) Just need to get a few things for it, but then again, I may just figure it out with what I got! ;)

Ok, I think that is enough for now... Sorry, it's all over the place, but that's pretty much what I'm thinking. I know, I am weird, and I'm ok with that!

Better get some sleep, they will be up before I know it! I made up a batch of yeasty waffles I saw on a friends page, I hope I did it right! haha!!! ;) I want to get up in enough time to cook them for the kids before we have to get out for the day! :)

Good-nite!

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...
